DAY 15 ROME / VATICAN CITY

It was the last day for us to sightseeing in Italy! We had breakfast in a cafe and then we visited Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. This basilica is the largest church in Rome dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary.


Then we took the underground to Vatican City and visit the Basilica di San Pietro. We took pics at the square but we didn't get in. I've been there inside 6 years ago, I still remember there was the statue of St. Peter and it is believed that touching his feet would bring you luck so his feet were slick!!




We then had lunch at a bar but it was the most expensive lunch I ever had!! We had chicken leg with chips, sausage with vegetable, seafood salad, Ravioli and 2 drinks. It total costed 52EUR!!!! Crazy!! We didn't check the price before ordering coz it was a self-served bar and we didn't expect it would be so expensive. The food was just ok and it wasn't deserved to pay that much!!


I think we order too much and we were too full to finish all the food but we tried our best to eat them all coz it costed 52EUR!! We didn't want to waste the food (money) LOL
After lunch, we just walked around to buy some souviners and relaxed. We didn't want to rush the last day. We just wanted to enjoy our last day in Rome.

We were supposed to have a nice dinner for our last day in Rome but we spent more than we expected at lunch so finally we bought some bread and salami and went back to the hostel. Not too bad tho, at least we had something to eat :D

We've changed the room and we had a new roomate from South American. She was very friendly and nice so we invited her to have simple dinner with us in the room. We talked about everything, she is going to study in Germany and she travelled Europe for 10days alone. There are quite a lot of travellers who like to travel alone! I wanna try too!!
